“May the beauty of what you love be what you do “ Rumi

A mantra Kimberley uses to guide all her work .

Kimberley has a Bachelors in Education ( ECE) and cofounder and creator of The Nest Private Kindergaten.

It was the the ‘ birth ‘ of this model that fast became the ‘ teaching ground ‘for not only her but hundreds of other professionals that would visit and see feel and hear a different’ way of being ‘ .

Kimberley’s creativity didn’t stop at The Nest she always wanted to establish a model outside the system with NO strings so ‘The Haven’ was birthed into being and this was a Home Schooling hub where children between 5-13 years of age cross pollinate OUTSIDE.

This was by far the most SIMPLE….

It was outside the system : OUTSIDE.

Kimberley has been to The Pikler Institute in Hungary multiple times to study and visited The Forest Kindergarten in Germany.

After 30 years of working with and alongside children and delivering Professional Development every weekend and in evenings Kimberley is now devoted to supporting individual teachers and teams sharing ALL her tried and true experience and supporting people to shine and be the authentic souls they are born to be. Kimberley believes the best teacher is the one that sees the light in those they are teaching.
